I bought a new ST39140N drive new about 6 Mos. ago for $200.   The 18GB units were about
$300 at the time.  I think they are less expensive now.  The single-ended drives (50 pin)
are a bit scarce these days, but still show-up frequently on EBAY.  Here's a list of Seagate SE
drives ("N" Suffix") that will work in 9X7s (from IODFAULT) with no special cables/adapters:

The first digit is the height (1= half-height, 3= Low Profile).  The next 2 (or 3 digits)  refers to the
 capacity (43 =4.3GB, 45=4.5GB,  91=9.1GB, 182=18.2GB, etc. ).
